Nutball artwork – Georgia parents defend tattooing kids

Same school of art – a little more complex

Two parents in Summerville, Ga., say they did nothing wrong by giving six of their children homemade tattoos.

Patty Jo Marsh and her husband, Jacob Bartels, admitted giving six of the seven children in their care tattoos using a tattoo machine and guitar strings as needles, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Saturday.

“I’m their mother,” Marsh said. “Shouldn’t I be able to decide if they get one?”
